So it doesn't have M drive? I thought EDC cars generally comes with M Drive.

Problem is you're in SoCal, which from what I heard might make the price higher. Here in Mid-atlantic this would sell for about $44k (correct me if this is bad pricing on my end). I would give him an offer of $44.9 ($900 about cost of shipping from coast to coast.)

Your biggest leverage is that it's an 08 and 2011s are for sale for invoice +$500.

Correct, M Drive came only with the Technology package (which this one does not have). EDC is a $1000 standalone option...it just adds the 3-mode button next to the shifter.
